Protection Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Ben Folds Five

Tourists wear their wallets 

In high places when abroad 

So as not to be ripped off in ways 

To which they're not apprised 

Lawyers write some goofy terms 

In letters to the future 

So as not to get all screwed by methods 

Here and after devised, so will I 

And I guess I will protect myself from you 

Sometimes I get so tickled I can't talk 

And I will protect myself from you 

I'll keep on reminding me, I'm always free to walk 

You're not exactly what I'm looking for 

You don't even know that when I've got it straight 

Now keep it in mind 

No you're not what I was looking for 

I just need a little bit of what you've got 

A little bit, don't make me laugh 

And I guess I will protect myself from you 

Sometimes I get so tickled I can't talk 

But I will protect myself from you 

And I'll keep on reminding me, I'm always free to walk 

And always free, free to walk, hey 

Whatever happens between you and me today 

Probably will be okay 

But won't bother me in anyway 

And I guess I will protect myself from you 

Sometimes I get so tickled I can't talk 

But I will protect myself from you 

And I'll keep on reminding me, I'm always free to walk 

Free, F R E E 

You can't, you can't hurt me 

'Cause I don't care about you 

[Incomprehensible] I don't give a shit 

And I don't give a shit about you 

The pussy ass sounds of white people 

Playing jazz
